In this thrilling video from Larry Chen in Tokyo, we are treated to the sight of three magnificent BMWs, each one expertly tuned by the Japanese masters at studi. The trio consists of an M2, an M3, and an M4, all of them oozing with JDM flair. Larry takes us on a detailed tour of these beasts, starting with the M2, which has been given a stunning makeover. With its aggressive stance, BBS LMS wheels, and KW v3 suspension, this M2 is a force to be reckoned with. The carbon parts from alpha n, including the lip, hood, and fenders, perfectly match the BMW OEM paint, thanks to the skilled hands at studi. The interior is adorned with custom leather accents on the Recaro seats, giving it a touch of BMW luxury. And let's not forget the CAE shifter and the studi extra wide mirror, which add a touch of style to this already impressive machine.
Moving on to the M4, we meet Bob, the owner of studi, and his personal car, which has been heavily modified. The M4 boasts M performance carbon bits, a custom body-matched side skirt with the studi logo, and a front grill that fixes the car's once-hated appearance. Inside, the ricaro classic seats steal the show, reupholstered with a unique pattern that perfectly complements the car's overall aesthetic. Bob has gone all out with the interior, even adding a mad trace steering wheel that allows for a disconnect while still retaining all the functionality. And let's not forget the stunning two-tone BBS LMS wheels, which give the car a dual personality depending on which side you're looking at. Under the hood, the M4 is a masterpiece, with alpha n carbon bits, a light tune, and upgraded horns that add a touch of b-zoku style.
Last but certainly not least, we have the M3 comp touring, a car that is truly special and sadly not available in the US. With its Ardo bumper, alpha n hood and roof, and M performance carbon ceramic brakes, this M3 is a sight to behold. The interior remains mostly stock, with the addition of a studi mirror and a radar detector. Underneath the hood, the Daytona Violet beauty shines, with blackline performance bits, aluminum caps, and eventuri intakes. The matte carbon bits from eventuri, along with the CPM brace and the indiv carbon bits, complete the stunning look. This M3 is a true all-rounder, with all-wheel drive and plenty of power to spare.
Larry Chen takes the M2 and M4 for a spin, and his excitement is palpable. The M4, in particular, impresses him with its insane sound and blistering speed. He notes that the M4 has a Super Sprint center pipe and an M performance exhaust, giving it an aggressive and exhilarating tone. Larry's preference for left-hand drive becomes evident as he feels more comfortable pushing the M4 to its limits. He can't help but compare it to his own car, realizing that the M4 outshines it in every way. With its impressive power and DCT gearbox, Larry is in awe of the M4's performance.
In conclusion, Larry Chen's video showcases the incredible craftsmanship of the studi team and their ability to transform BMWs into JDM-tuned masterpieces. The M2, M4, and M3 comp touring all exude power, style, and performance. Larry's enthusiasm is contagious as he takes us on a journey through these stunning machines, leaving us yearning for a chance to experience the thrill of driving one ourselves.
